Antelope, possibly a Reedbuck coming to the pan. He is very nervous, and took almost 15 mins to come in, get a drink and then leave. I have seen this shot without the infra-red cameras, and it's pitch black there.

Finally this poor Reedbuck gets his drink, but did you notice the Genet watching him from the right lower corner?

After the antelope was gone for a few minutes this little creature comes to the waterhole for a drink. Not sure if it is the Genet or a mongoose of some sort.

Then the cam was out for quite a while from electrical problems. After all this is a very small camera mounted on a dead tree sitting on a termite mound in the middle of nowhere in South Africa. Wires are running underground back to Nkorho lodge where they get the feed and upload it via satellite to a server somewhere who knows where in Africa. It is then fed to a server on the west coast of USA and managed for us by WaveLit out of Canada. I'm surprised we are getting a feed at all most of the time.
But finally around 8:oo SAT the cam flickered to life and they were experiencing the worst lightening and thunderstorm I have seen (and living in the state of Florida I see many). This last video was part of that storm that I captured when I got set up.

About Me
I thought this could just be a place where I can post the pictures and video that I capture at www.africam.com, a 24hour streaming camera. This cam is located at the Nkorho Lodge at Sabi Sands Preserve, in South Africa.
